Welcome
On behalf of the Organizing Committee, I am honored to welcome you to the 4th Joint International Symposium on Deformation Monitoring (JISDM 2019), which is organized by the National Technical University of Athens, Greece and endorsed by the three leading scientific and professional organizations in the field; namely the FIG, the IAG and the ISPRS.
The JISDM 2019 will be held in Athens, Greece on May 15-17, 2019.
JISDM carries the more than 40 years tradition of the FIG and IAG symposia in the field of deformation monitoring and more recently, the active sponsorship of the ISPRS. The symposium aims to connect research in deformation measurement, techniques, analysis and interpretation with advanced practice. Bringing together leading experts from academia, industry and representatives from public authorities with promising young scientists, the symposium has been established as a reference point for scientific discussion and interaction.
Founded in 1837, the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) is the oldest Technical University in Greece. Established as a prestigious university of science and technology, NTUA accommodates almost 10 thousand students of PhD, Master and undergraduate level. The School of Rural and Surveying Engineering (SRSE) is one of the nine academic Schools of the NTUA that among other scientific fields it has a long tradition in geodesy and geomatics.
Athens is a city rich in history, culture, and significance. Located at the crossroads of three continents, the capital of Greece has often been the hub of many civilizations spanning a recorded history over 3,400 years. We are looking forward to seeing you in Athens, Greece, during May 15-17, 2019. I hope and strongly believe that JISDM 2019 will be as successful as the previous ones and a memorable experience furnishing everyone a fruitful time, new contacts and a nice stay in Athens.
